I’m so sorry to hear about David. I remember the good times we had when we were kids. I want to offer condolences to all the family. I know he will be missed because he as such a great person.
I will always remember David and the good times we had playing basketball. He was a great player and a pure shooter. He always had a smile and a kind word when we passed in the hall. I would yell “Bish” and he would always come back with “Powersy”. He will always be remembered fondly and missed by all that new him. My condolences to Lana, who I graduated with and who is still my friend today.
